Find alternative ways to make money & save money!

The Holidays are almost here, and with the season comes the annual need to purchase food and presents for friends and family. For many, the holidays become a time to rely on credit cards to make purchases, but it’s not necessary to use plastic to fund winter activities. Other options exist, including layaway, yard sale and lowering consumption. Increasing the balance on your credit cards causes your score to decrease. Call us today for a free life-changing consultation at 1-866-997-6591.

Save TIME & MONEY during the HOLIDAYS!

f you really want to save money and time this holiday season, just say, “No.” Just walk away from the mall and use the time and money you gain to do all of the other important things you never get around to doing. If you feel like you’re getting bored and that hitting the sales will somehow cure that boredom, find another cure. (This also applies to time spent mindlessly surfing the Internet, checking for deals.) Sure, shopping is part of the holiday season, but the mindless trekking from store to store all day long “just to see what’s out there” is a waste of time. You could spend that time doing much more meaningful, fun, and important things.

Statute of Limitations

The "Statute of limitations", in regards to your credit profile, is the length of time a creditor or debt collector can take legal action against you. It is also the maximum length of time an adverse item can lawfully be reported on your credit report. This varies from state to state and averages 4-6 years. We highly recommend you familiarize yourself with the statute of limitations in your home state.

Reconsider Closing an Existing Credit Card Account!

Have you ever thought of ways to help improve your credit? The one solution you may of come up with was to close your credit card...DON'T!!!! Closing a credit card will not help increase your credit scores. Credit cards are a way of showing that you have a good credit mix (10%), positive payment history (35%), length of history (15%). Instead of closing your card, pay down the amounts owed (30%). Proportion of balances is very important. For additional information you may contact our office for a detailed credit analysis and consultation @ 1-866-997-6591.

Credit Scores

Your credit score is a number, calculated based on information in your credit report, that lenders use to assess the credit risk you pose and the interest rate they will offer you if they agree to lend you money.It may be a good idea to review your score if you anticipate applying for a major loan, in the next six months to a year. That allows time to bring your score up if you fear it's too low. For additional information you may contact our office at 1-866-997-6591.

Inquiries

"Inquiries" a HARD INQUIRY is when you initiate by filling out a credit application. SOFT INQUIRIES are from companies that want to send out promotional information to a prequalified group or current creditors monitoring your credit. Remember "Buffer Period" ignores inquiries within 45 days of getting a mortgage or car loan. It also counts two or more hard inquiries in the same 14 day period as one inquiry.
